--- Comment #11 from Erik Moeller <[email protected]> ---
My understanding is that Erik's scripts run each time against the whole dump,
so if you removed the category after a wihle, that would mean the counts would
change. We should give Erik time to clarify that.

It's possible that these could be switched over to parse the edit summary,
provided the software adds and has always added the summary in the same way
it's added the category. But tradeoffs and issues with that approach need to be
analyzed first.

I still fail to see what's accomplished by doing this, as we also have other
"Uploaded with/to" categories that have already become very large (Commonist is
at >100K files, images from WLM2012 ist at >300K files). What's the problem
we're trying to solve by removing or restructuring these categories? What, if
any, operation is currently slowed down by these categories?
